Calling all Scouts from T2000 for an organized Camp at Home event! COVID-19 may have changed the way we do things right now, but it won’t stop Scouts from camping!
We’re organizing a virtual campout in our own backyards on April 18th! We’re asking each Scout family to join in the fun.
Here are the considerations:
- Pack a bag
- Pitch a tent in the yard / hang up a hammock outside / build a den (blanket fort) in your home, if no yard is available....whatever you can do - build some sort of shelter
- Sleep in your shelter of choice overnight (note, to count as a night of camping for rank, OA, or MB - outdoor camping will be required)
- Build a campfire (real, virtual, or edible)
- Take part in a “Scouting activity” - we are considering hosting virtual Zoom flag ceremonies, Scout Oath/Law, group gaming, etc.
- We can connect you with an adult leader to work on rank requirements or Cooking and/or Camping merit badge requirements
- Help with cooking a meal (ideally outside)
MOST IMPORTANTLY….. Share a photo/video to Troop 2000 Facebook page of your experience so others in the Troop can see the coordinated event!
* In case of weather impacting date, we’ll select another date*
